Rik Mayall Has Died

Comedian and actor Rik Mayall died this morning. Mayall was best known for his roles in Bottom, the Young Ones and The New Statesman. He was 56. The Young Ones remains one of my favorite shows of all-time.

I'm distraught about this. Far far too young. I grew up watching him. The young ones, bottom (TV and live shows) Blackadder, king arthurs disasters…drop dead fred, the new statesman (my fave). He will be sooooo missed xxxxxxxx

We would sit around (smoking hash) and watching The Young Ones, Bennie Hill, Monty Python and Dr. Who (Tom Baker!). In the very early 80's there was quite a bit of British TV available in the states. There was nothing like it at the time and quite frankly there's been nothing like it since (nothing like that hash either). RIP Rik.
